The alarming disease Of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. 1t goes under
many names but it is essen
TALLY the same complaint.
Hospitals and private institu-
tons for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are so
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent reason, or under so-called
depression of spirits are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and czime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life Of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck manhood's
strength and wonlan's useful
ness and beauty.
! Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stimulants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
Gsh, Nervous Dyspepsia, as it
is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded or des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred ;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
out its warnings headache
in the morning; a persistent
dull heaviness or aching at the
base Of the brain; wakefulness ;
loss of appetite and disgustwith
food; loss of mental energy and
interest in ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; eructations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness
palpitation of the heart; sal
lowness of the skin; coated
tongue and gradual failure Of
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total aban
donment of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use Of Shaker Eatract Of Root:
(Seigeps Syrup to cure the
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb

acts as a safe and wholesome
anodyne without the slightesr

of misery to fresh enjoymen
of life and labor than by an.
